I'm 56 and have been programming for 40 years and counting. I'm paid extremely well for one reason...I've never stopped studying and learning.
If you want to base your future on something you already know, you're in the wrong profession.
- tracker1 10y agoThank you... 42 here (at it about 20 years now), and I can't imagine where my career would be today if I stood still at any point. Even in the JS and front-end space alone there's a lot to learn. There's adjacent tech too (various db's, cloud providers, ci/cd, docker, etc). It hasn't stopped or stood still and never will.
